1st November - 13st 7 (moved to 13st 5 due to different scales)
8th November - 13st 2 - 3lbs lost
15th November- 13st 0 - 5lb lost in total

Like @Bozza I checked my weight yesterday and got a 12st 13. So a bowel emptying may well be worth another pound soon!

I always weigh myself after my daily ablutions, and before I have breakfast. My scales go on the X Factor spot on the bedroom floor (well, actually a knot hole in the wood) so I weigh myself in the same spot every day...!

I’m a pretty regular first-thing-in-the-morning kinda guy.

Except today, obviously. Which I knew wasn’t going to help me.

In fact I’ve still not been. What the hell is going on?

Are you exercising a fair bit? I find the body can go into a metabolism shutdown, preserving what it has, if you just cut out the unhealthy intake and take it easy.

I think just cutting out the crap should work fine. It's usually a large calorie deficit that slows your metabolism too much. Also, making sure to eat a fair quantity of protein helps your metabolic rate.

So last night went out for a curry and beer session with a mate I hadn’t seen for a while. Instead of 3/4 pints before popadoms etc etc I did this instead at the pub whisky and sodas instead of pints (still alcohol and calories but no carbs), at curry house no popadoms, no rice and shared a nann at the end didn’t feel stuffed to bursting liked I would normally

Indian meals can be ridiculously carbs heavy … we’ve often had naan, saag aloo, rice, bhajis, papadams!

Chicken Tikka with a small amount of rice is good enough for me (when cutting weight)

Is it just me who occasionally absent mindedly opens this thread hoping to see an update on their own weight? :facepalm:

Didn't weight myself this morning, but I think the last two days were write offs because I have family visiting.


Any change of eating habits is going to have difficult times to negotiate. It's the nature of the beast. I think it's really important to roll with them and try get back on track as soon as is feasible. You are not alone...!


This mid-month challenge time is going to be hard . We're two weeks in and although I'm doing OK with my addiction to over eating, I need to expand the variety of my food now to keep me firmly on track. Any healthy, appetising, easy to cook/create recipes, are very welcome from anyone.

Having suffered a flare up of diverticulitis for the last 14 days I'm well over 7 lbs lost with no end in sight.

It's a mild faff but grilled chicken with a few spices is great. The M&S marinades are good for two nights and if you avoid frying the chicken it helps. Char grill some peppers to go with it, and if you fancy sprinkle on some pomegranite seeds.

Other thing which I find filling is peppers stuffed with breadcrumbs, chopped mushroom and feta. Took is from the Hairy Bikers cookbook.
